J. K. Hutchinson does an admirable bit of character work as the Texan in “The Idol Smasher” with some good comedy values in the dialogue and an occasional touch of the dramatic.
There are several spots in the sketch where it seemed that the action had approached a climax and the relapse into the semi-comedy dialogue came as a decided slump. The shortening of te scene between husband and wife might remedy this somewhat and the suppression of the stilted matinee idol (George Germane) would help a lot.
